Officers look other way as little girls are pushed into prostitutionPublished: Tuesday, 16 September, 2008, 12:30 AM Doha Time

By Joel Brinkley
MAE SAI, Thailand: In this little town on the Burmese border, parents sell their young daughters into sexual slavery for less than the cost of a toaster oven. These little girls, 11 or 12 years old, are forced to serve in brothels and are not permitted to leave.
This has been going on for many years. I know this to be true. I was here before, in 2001.
Back then, brothel agents visited the schools to look over the fourth graders. They offered cash down to parents of 8-year-olds for the right to buy their daughters when they finished the sixth grade.
